Wearable Wednesday London: ‘Design and the New Realm of Wearables’

On 19 February, Wearable
World will host their inaugural event at IDEALondon to discover
the future of wearable tech. Wearable Wednesday London will welcome
innovators and entrepreneurs to connect with industry experts
through panel discussion and product demonstrations.

According to estimates by ABI Research, the global market for
wearables in health and fitness alone could be as high as 170
million devices by 2017. As wearable tech becomes more widespread,
tech companies are more aware than ever of the challenge to
create transformative experiences -- people want, and will
soon come to expect, products that can be incorporated seamlessly
into their daily lives.

"To gain widespread popularity," explains Wearable World,
"wearables have to be more than just functional and innovative.
People have to want to wear them. In this session, we will discuss
the marriage between hardware and software, how companies will take
on the challenge to improve consumers lives and in the end, build
something that people will buy."
